The goal is to establish groundwater viability in this location based on a clear-cut relationship between Electrical Resistivity (VES) and Electromagnetics methods (VLF). Both methods were jointly used for investigation to determine overburden thickness, geo-electric layers and groundwater potential.The advantage of this combination is that the VLF technique was used as a reconnaissance survey to identify the best VES locations. The computer iterated data from the study area enabled us to delineate the area into high, medium and low water potential zones Results obtained in this study clearly showed the depth to the bedrock beneath the VES stations. The field was contoured to demarcate areas with thick overburden ( 10m), areas with medium overburden (between 5-8 m) and areas with relatively thin overburden (≤ 5m) marked as A, B, and C respectively. VES station 4 with infinite overburden thickness and VES station 6 with fractured basement are the only aquifer units within the entire school field where groundwater could be exploited and therefore, serve as high groundwater potential zones. However, it must be stated here that VES station 6 is the surest bet within the priority area for groundwater development. . This result from combined technique is more reliable than the investigation based on only one method of investigation for groundwater feasibility studies, especially were the subsurface is doubtful.

Both Soret (thermal diffusion), Dufour (diffusion-thermo) and radiation effects are considered when there is no chemical reaction. By imposing a time dependent perturbation on the constant plate temperature and concentration and assuming a differential approximation for the radiative flux, the coupled non linear problem is solved for the temperature and the concentration. First a critical value for the Soret was determined as 0.10 and the effects of Dufour, Soret and radiation show that while both Dufour and Soret have no effect on the temperature field, they both affect the concentration field with the Dufour causing an overwhelming increase and the Soret just a slight decrease. Furthermore radiation decreases both the temperature and concentration field.

We observe from the simulation that SNR based power control with updating step-size of 0.8dB provides acceptable system availability and stability.

Such stochastic and random characterizations of the dynamic load function confer some element of randomness on the normal displacement whose statistical mean we shall first seek for the determination of the dynamic buckling load . Lastly, the dynamic buckling load is determined via a suitable maximization and certain useful deductions are made .

Using separately, the third, fourth and fifth order approximations of wave profile functions respectively and the determined expressions for wave – current speed , it is shown that the wave - current speed is more intense on the surface of the ocean, but however, the intensity reduces exponentially downwards with the depth. The present analysis also suggests that the wave – current speed increases with increase in wave steepness. It is further deduced that the wave- current speed is the same in magnitude for both fourth and fifth order; thus, showing the convergence of solutions concerning wave - current speed in Stokes waves as the order increases.

The dielectric parameters obtained from the dispersions, relating to the structural and electrical properties of the molecules were tabulated. The relationships between the dispersion amplitude Δ and the molecular dipole moment μ of the proteins and also between the relaxation time τ and the energy of activation ΔH of the molecules have been highlighted.
